Jack Benny Chat
Sunday, August 8th, at 7:00 PM Central (8:00 PM Eastern, 5:00 PM Pacific) will be the next session of the IJBFC chat room. Anyone interested in discussing all things Benny is invited. Please be aware that a lot of attendees share many interests in common (e.g., other comedians, animation, Star Trek, Pogo, history, etc.); the main goal is for people to have a good time, so I don't moderate the conversation too heavily to keep people on-topic.

You will see a window that looks like this:
Enter your name or chat nickname by "Username", then click the "Login" button. If
you would like to open the chat as a separate window, click
"Float".
You'll see window like this:
The names of the people in the chat room will show up on the right side of the window. The text of the chat will show up in the area on the left side of the window.
To talk in the chat room: Click on the beige box toward the bottom of the screen. I have written "(Type what you want to say here)" in that space in the above example. Then type what you want to say and hit Send.
The system automatically puts the name of the person sending the message in front of the message.
It's just that easy!
